The Roadside is an EP by English singer Billy Idol, his first release on George Harrison's Dark Horse Records.
[3] The lead single, "Bitter Taste", references Idol's 1990 motorcycle crash, which nearly cost him his leg.
Louder Sound's Dom Lawson noted, "Judging by his Instagram feed, Billy Idol is the coolest grandad on the planet.
Perhaps surprisingly, The Roadside EP is every bit as cool and continues to the unexpected good form that the Rebel Yell legend displayed on his last two studio records.
"[6] William Degenaro of Pop Matters said, "The Roadside bodes well for his future... 'Bitter Taste' could very well prove to be one of Idol's definitive creations.
